Evening Primrose - If You Can Find Me, I'm Here Lyrics |
Stephen Sondheim's 1966 television musical Evening Primrose the Musical - If You Can Find Me, I'm Here Lyrics
WOMAN: Goodbye my friends and good riddance Pardon while I disappear Come see me soon in my hideaway If you can find me, I'm here
MAN: Farewell you bloodsucking landlords Pouring your threats in my ear Good luck forever to you and yours If you can find me, I'm here
BOTH: And I'll stay Cozily hiding by day During the day I'll resign Waiting 'til you go away
MAN: But at nine Master of all I survey Everything gets to be mine to own Mine to use Mine to write all the poems I choose All alone Only me and my muse
WOMAN: And forty pianos And ten thousand shoes
MAN: Farewell Neanderthal neighbors Swilling your pretzels and beer
WOMAN: Fair weather friends, do you miss me now?
BOTH: If you can find me, I'm here
WOMAN: Goodbye despoilers of beauty
MAN: Ruin another career
BOTH: When you wake up with one genius less If you can find me, I'm here
MAN: And I'm free Free as a bird in a tree
WOMAN: Free as the slippers I wear Free with a year's warranty
MAN: Free as air All of these products and me
WOMAN: All that I ask is a chair that tilts
MAN: Books to read
WOMAN: Light refreshment before I proceed
MAN: And a blazer or maybe a tweed The barest essentials a poet would need
WOMAN: Live in your barbarous jungle Screaming for ways to get clear
MAN: When all the screaming has died away
BOTH: Come and visit my hideaway I will be glad to provide a way If you can find me I'm here I am here I am here I am here I am here, here, here!
